Al-Hussayen may be deported

06/04/2003

Associated Press

An immigration judge ruled that a University of Idaho graduate student suspected of terrorist links lied to gain entry to the United States and can be deported.

But Sami Omar Al-Hussayen will remain in the Canyon County Jail as the eleven criminal counts against him move toward trial.

Al-Hussayen is a Saudi Arabian national. He refused to answer questions about the matter, invoking his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself.

The bearded Al-Hussayen appeared in an orange prison jumpsuit, handcuffs and shackles. He occasionally smiled at two friends in the audience of about 25 people.

Defense attorney David Nevin says he intends to petition U-S District Court before the end of the week to schedule the criminal trial.

Al-Hussayen is charged with seven counts of visa fraud and four counts of making false statements on visa applications.

Authorities contend his enrollment at the school was a cover for his work with the Islamic Assembly of North America.
